People will like that you took the time to meet them. Seeing the owners face humanizes a business and makes people feel more at home.
You can also ask for reviews on social media by linking your Yelp page to your Facebook and Twitter accounts. This is a great way to reach more people and encourage them to leave a comment on your Yelp account.
